NAME

games_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the games processes

DESCRIPTION

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the games processes via flexible mandatory access control.

NSSWITCH DOMAIN

FILE CONTEXTS

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type.

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to lsP Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux games policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their games processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following file types are defined for games:

games_data_t

- Set files with the games_data_t type, if you want to treat the files as games content.

Paths:: /var/games(/.*)?, /var/lib/games(/.*)?

games_exec_t

- Set files with the games_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the games_t domain.

Paths:: /usr/bin/sol, /usr/bin/blackjack, /usr/bin/micq, /usr/bin/gnotski, /usr/bin/katomic, /usr/bin/kshisen, /usr/bin/klickety, /usr/bin/lskat, /usr/bin/atlantik, /usr/bin/ksame, /usr/bin/kgoldrunner, /usr/bin/lskatproc, /usr/bin/gataxx, /usr/bin/Maelstrom, /usr/bin/ksmiletris, /usr/bin/gnotravex, /usr/bin/ksirtet, /usr/bin/kbattleship, /usr/bin/ktuberling, /usr/bin/kenolaba, /usr/bin/kmahjongg, /usr/bin/ksnake, /usr/games/.*, /usr/bin/gnobots2, /usr/bin/civserver.*, /usr/bin/civclient.*, /usr/bin/kbounce, /usr/bin/kwin4, /usr/bin/ktron, /usr/bin/mahjongg, /usr/bin/kbackgammon, /usr/bin/kblackbox, /usr/bin/kjumpingcube, /usr/bin/gnomine, /usr/bin/gnect, /usr/bin/same-gnome, /usr/bin/kasteroids, /usr/bin/ksokoban, /usr/bin/kolf, /usr/bin/konquest, /usr/bin/kreversi, /usr/bin/kpoker, /usr/lib/games(/.*)?, /usr/bin/glines, /usr/bin/kfouleggs, /usr/bin/kmines, /usr/bin/gnibbles, /usr/bin/kspaceduel, /usr/bin/kpat, /usr/bin/iagno, /usr/bin/gtali, /usr/bin/klines, /usr/bin/kwin4proc, /usr/bin/gnome-stones

games_srv_var_run_t

- Set files with the games_srv_var_run_t type, if you want to store the games srv files under the /run directory.

games_tmp_t

- Set files with the games_tmp_t type, if you want to store games temporary files in the /tmp directories.

games_tmpfs_t

- Set files with the games_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store games files on a tmpfs file system.

Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command. If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

PROCESS TYPES

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to psP Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux games policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their games processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for games:

games_t, games_srv_t

Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.

MANAGED FILES

The SELinux user type games_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

games_data_t

/var/games(/.*)?

/var/lib/games(/.*)?

games_tmp_t

games_tmpfs_t

user_fonts_cache_t

        /root/.fontconfig(/.*)?

       /root/.fonts/auto(/.*)?

       /root/.fonts.cache-.*

       /home/[^/]*/.fontconfig(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]*/.fonts/auto(/.*)?

       /home/[^/]*/.fonts.cache-.*

user_tmp_t

/var/run/user(/.*)?

/tmp/gconfd-.*
